ANZAC Empire, 'Bridging the Ditch' Thread

ANZAC Empire, 'Bridging the Ditch' Thread

Yes Well... *cough* I was a little tired of posting on the Aussie Empire thread. ;)

*Intentionally cheesy opening Address*

So gather round all you ANZAC Citizens, Lend Me Your Ears... and your games, Forget whether your accent is more nasally than your neighbours and Post those Gigantic Games on Masochistic Difficulty! *pause for applause* Now Begone and play Galactic Civilizations till you starve, then play some more! Think GalCiv, Dream GalCiv, (Breath GalCiv?) ...Be THE GalCiv! and return only when you have defeated the evil intergalactic minions that plague us and halt our advance up the metaverse board.

*cough*

Yup, Let's beat em Guys.

Kiwi Greg - I had heard that players had difficulties 'leveling', as it's more a Morrowind type of game ie level by doing things. This led to situations where a craftsman would have to make a low level item, destroy it, make it again etc to improve skills. Also, was there a genuine "Starwars" flavour about the environment? Will there be Jedi strolling around?

StarWars Galaxy (SWG?) . . . I've read that its 'lack of apparent depth' is a temporary issue. Which is to say a number of expansions were pre-planned for it ($$$). If that's true . . . we'll just have to wait and see. Thanks for the nice review though (please keep us posted!).

Galahs have long life-spans too! My mum has a Cockatoo (same kinda thing?). Mum calles him a 'white devil', and it's for good reason! He's outlived half our family and nearly bit my finger off when I was five! Dangerous Little Rascal! (He's only 23 years old . . . they can live to be over 100!) . . . which means he'll probably out live me too! Bastard! LOL

I can't talk of Politics or Religion . . . even in jest, people get 'narky' (and I get confussed).

PontiusBruinPilot . . . a glitch in the 'matrix'! Um . . . Sleep depravation wouldn't have anything to do with it . . . ? J/K (Me2)

Regarding further progress in soliciting mecenaries . . . I have it on good information that 'The Bananas in Pyjamas' are being realeased form Maximum Security next week ans are available. I've also talked to Humphery B Bear but he didn't say anything? He just stood there jumping up and down waving his paws around, so I left . . . LOL

The B-in-P are getting out? Geez...I heard they were in for 25-to-life for doing over that teddy bear last year.....yeah, they'd be great [eyes glaze over thinking of possibilities] And Humphrey? Silent but deadly! And the Northern Hemisphere has NO idea what we're talking about.....

Yup, they are getting out. The tv showed them coming down the cell block stairs. In pairs. And they looked like they were gonna catch some teddy bears unawares and take revenge by pulling out their hairs.

@Kiwi Greg: lol, that was a classic. It's going on my next spam mail to all my mates LOL

Aargh, I oughta be submitting games, but I've still got uni exams on this week, then I'm going to Melbourne for a few weeks on some army reserve stuff... anyone know some good pubs down there?

Oh well, I'll make sure I pick up a few bush critters on my way home to throw into the mix :)

Children's shows as weapons of mass destruction. I called you guys 70% good, but this is using weaponry that is at least 90%, so I don't think you meet the minimum alignment requirement. But all is fair, I guess.

It's not good, it's evil. We're %@)!ing up the northern hemisphere with our Insidious Mind Control (tm), and they don't even realize it. What a master plan! Dr. Evil would be proud.

Who needs the secret police, anyway?

No the skill up system for artisans is not *quite* like that. In fact I think it is pretty easy - I am not even trying to be an artisan and mine is going up just from making and using various items I need.

You dont get exp from making stuff - only from other people using them.

I have been playing since SAturday (not power pplaying) and my highest skill (Expert Pistol) is 3/4 of the way up the general marksman tree (before you specialise) so I do not think progression is particulalry slow.

Just couldn't bear to see your nice thread off the front page. Guess you've all been busy. Greg's moved on to SWG, Chris moving. what's an Anzac to do?

Poor ANZAC. Looks like the tail is wagging the dog here. Try harder! The undead are on the loose and your strange wildlife could mean the difference between being ghoul chow or staying one step ahead of the ungrateful dead. :)

Join a theme empire! Or convert ANZAC to a theme empire!

Or merge ANZACs with the White Council!
Well since New Zealand is the land of the LOTR anyway.

Usually I don't really encourage merging so that there is diversity in Meta but it is better than seeing fun role-playing folks drift away because the empire is dormant.

And of course it has that wonderful side effect of placing us nearer the top of the league.

Hey, 500 posts!

I made everyone with a score over 10000 a senator and took those who had lower scores (me and warty) out of the senatorship.

Hi All,

Just Signed up with 2 games..
Still learning and feeling the game out.

lost my first 12 or so games even against 1 main computer player on fool mode.. lol .. guess i was the fool..

Since then I've won 5 games in a row (only last 2 posted due to problems submitting games)

Now lets get out there and show them just what the ANZAC's are well known for.. Digging in our heels and sholders to the grindstone.. never looking back.. and doing everyones dirty work... (well i guess someone has to do it)

BTW how come we don't have a web page ?

Glad to be aboard
:HOT:
